On F1s? Great googilymoogy man, how do you do that? Anybody want a set of MTs and wheels--cheap?

Outstanding numbers, and you're right about the two JLs.

I wish I had a trick to say how it happened but it was more luck than anythig else. I had a 9 second Camaro leave two nice patchs in front of me, I lowered air pressure to 26.5, did a 5 second brake torque and lined up in his tracks, held it about 1000 rpm and the rest is on the time slip. I did back it up with a 1.80 60ft 12.655 @ 107.36.
LIFE IS GOOD!

Hah!!

Sparky - that's the SAME trick I did on my personal best run Lined up in the tracks of the guy (which ALSO was a Camaro with slicks) before me, held at about 1100, and turned a 1.86 60'... Man, another .1 on that 60' and I would have seen similar times!

That's absolutely unbelievable for F1's. I can't even do that on my ET Streets.

Congratulations.

F1s

Search Outrageous01. He manages to do 12.50s on F1s. Been there. Seen it. Pretty wild. No bars.

Get some nice rubber on the track, some VHT, reverse the F1's, and some traction bars will alow the low 60's. Nice run too.
